Empty Bowls Turnout

Heading For A Record

Showing off their acquisitions at today’s Empty Bowls Luncheon, a fundraiser for the Cooperstown Food Pantry, are, from left, Hany and Jill Ghaleb, Kate Kamker and Kaaren Fox.  At of 1 p.m., 299 soup seekers had bought tickets (which gets each of them an original bowl and soup to fill it), already a record.  In all, 350 bowls had been produced this year.  At right, Cooperstown’s Amy Zoltick has an air of authority as she, Leslie Breiten and Donna Mackie distributed the offerings.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
